The user wants me to solve a chemistry problem involving a stoichiometric calculation.
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Write the balanced chemical equation: The reaction between diborane () and an alcohol, such as methanol (), results in the formation of a trialkyl borate and hydrogen gas. This reaction proceeds via the cleavage of the B-H bonds in diborane. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
-
Identify the reactants and products:
- Reactants: Diborane () and Methanol ().
- Products: Trimethyl borate () and Hydrogen gas (). The question asks for the number of moles of the boron-containing product, which is trimethyl borate, .
-
Analyze the stoichiometry of the reaction: From the balanced chemical equation, we can establish the molar ratio between the reactant diborane () and the boron-containing product trimethyl borate (). The ratio is:
-
Calculate the number of moles of the product: The problem states that 3 moles of are completely reacted. Using the stoichiometric ratio from step 3, we can calculate the moles of produced. Substituting the given value:
-
Final Answer: Therefore, the complete reaction of 3 moles of with methanol produces 6 moles of the boron-containing product, trimethyl borate.
